Stroke Eating

Helping Seniors Enjoy the Benefits of Our Trusted Caregiving Services

A healthy diet is best undertaken before a stroke because eating right
can reduce the risk of getting conditions such as hypertension, diabetes,
obesity, and coronary artery disease which can all increase the risk of stroke.

To start eating better, choose wisely when eating and drinking:

Choose vegetables and fruits

Choose foods low in saturated fats

Avoid or limit foods sugar

Consult health care provider on how much sodium (salt) is right for you
or your loved one

When choosing to drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation and be
sure to consult health care provider to find out if these beverages are
safe after a stroke

People who have already suffered a stroke may have difficulty swallowing
and therefore require extra care at mealtimes:

A special diet (pureed) might be needed

Always sit in a high sitting position

Take small bites

Take small sips of water to moisten food

Contact a health care provider with questions about specific dietary concerns
for someone at risk for a stroke or who is struggling with eating after a stroke.
